Fighting child malnutrition in poor areas of Peru

Several months have passed since our last report and we can say that we have made significant progress in this time. We are already treating around 50 children suffering from anaemia, but together with their parents, we are striving to improve their knowledge of foods and preparations rich in iron that will allow them to feed their children adequately.

So far, some children have been discharged because they have overcome their anaemia, but that does not make us lower our guard, on the contrary, we continue to monitor these families, in order to maintain an optimal state of health.

On the other hand, we still need your support. We are working on the ground, but we need the support of many to enable us to continue our work.

We continue to strive to improve children's lives. To achieve this we are working with parents to improve their knowledge and practices in caring for their children. In this time we have been able to help 33 children who have improved their haemoglobin levels through iron supplementation as well as their diet. We continue to work tirelessly to improve the quality of life of those who will be the future.

We have nutrition professionals who visit parents and their children in their homes and provide personalized nutritional counselling as well as assessing the nutritional status of the children. In this way we ensure that the child is improving.
